There are some pretty powerful themes in the story, and
they are made pretty clear in the summary below. The coming of age theme is one that
winds its way through all different places in the story and connects clearly to that of
sex and added responsibility. As she goes to the castle, the journey might be
considered a symbol of that transition, but it also starts the entire set of actions
that drive her coming of age. The consumation of her marriage which starts her
curiosity about sex and her use of the various roles of sex in her life continues to
drive that theme of coming of age. It also begins to show the fact that she is not
entirely innocent as she begins to delve into things that aren't considered appropriate,
etc.
